New brain mapping technique reveals neural code of vision processing over time

"We know that the code for visual information is distributed across a large population of neurons, but how that code is distributed depends on the goals of a given task. What this means is that the brain does not simply create a mental picture based exclusively on the environment, but instead creates a representation that best matches the behavioral goals of the person... Fortunately, DETI mapping enables opportunities to explore the neural dynamics of task-based visual codes and how those codes ultimately support task-based decision-making"
